Eighty Years of the Same Song

[Intro – Rain outside, old piano, vinyl crackle, quiet saxophone] The rain... Never stops... Neither... Does the music... --- [Verse I – Piano and saxophone carry the melody before guitars enter] Every midnight, candles burn, Every chair awaits return. Weathered faces softly smile, Frozen there for quite a while. The pianist begins once more, As he has since long before. Same old melody takes flight, Every single endless night. --- [Pre-Chorus – Strings swell, blast beats simmer beneath] He reads... Yesterday's newspaper... Again... The date... Never changes... --- [Chorus – Emotional black metal with soaring saxophone] EIGHTY YEARS OF THE SAME SONG! Still the glasses softly ring. Still the shadows slowly gather. Still the old ghosts softly sing. EIGHTY YEARS OF THE SAME SONG! No one leaves... No one knows... Whether outside... Time still flows... --- [Verse II – Noir atmosphere intensifies] Dust has settled on the floor, Yet no footsteps reach the door. Every patron lifts a glass, Watching endless seasons pass. Then one evening, in the rain, Someone hums the old refrain... For the first time... Since that night... One forgotten candle... Burns more bright. --- [Bridge – Long saxophone solo, rain ambience, whispered voices] Perhaps... The song... Was never... Keeping them inside... Perhaps... They were... Keeping... The song alive... --- [Instrumental – Jazz piano and sax lead into a mournful black metal crescendo] --- [Final Chorus – Huge emotional ending] EIGHTY YEARS OF THE SAME SONG! Still it echoes through the years! Every note defies oblivion! Every chord outlives our fears! --- [Outro – Rain, saxophone fades into silence] [End]
